Ron Corso is one of those long-term custodians who didn’t just collect MGBs; he lived with them, restored them properly, and understood their mechanical and historical logic.

After 45 years of hands-on association with predominantly Australian-delivered MGs, Ron is now rationalising his collection.

What follows is not a quick turnover list. It’s a portfolio of cars with known histories, original paperwork, sympathetic restorations, and the kind of mechanical honesty that serious buyers value. If you care about lineage, condition over cosmetics, and buying from someone who actually knows what they’re looking at, this is worth your attention.
